I'll explain what Dirty Sanchez is for those that don't know. It's a UK equilvant of Jackass, shown on MTV, with 4 guys basically inflicting extreme pain on themselves and each other, especially to their nether regions. Its called entertainment
Now I dont have a problem with the shows content as such, however moronic the individuals are, but I do have a problem with outsiders being dragged into the mire with them.
Last nights episode showed a clip of the guys playing Paintball NAKED! except for masks.
Funny - possibly
Stupid - yes
Painful - Abso ***king lutley, they drew blood
The issue is:
WHAT PAINTBALL SITE THOUGHT IT A GOOD IDEA TO HELP WITH THIS PROGRAMME?
It was a site and not just a patch of woodland, you could tell from the obstacles and equipment. Why did they get involved and show such irresposible behaviour? They could argue that because the Dirty Sanchez guys were wearing masks that it was safe!
Hallo!! Some of the threads on this very forum talk of hits to gonads and dicks and the very real damage it causes. These blokes were aiming at this area delibratley and at close range (roughly 6ft). One guy had three welts on his arse that had all drawn blood.
Now I realise that all parties concerned probably signed disclaimers which puts them all in the clear but what about when joe public tries this at home? and someone will!
The site in question should of thought twice about this in my opinion. It is not helpful in promoting safe Paintball. If the guys had gone and bought the stuff from a shop then thats a whole different kettle of fish and no one can legislate for what people will do. The same people that will copy this have the same mentality to shoot someone or something in the street as they drive by. Its not big and its not clever.
The site in question should be ashamed!
